ATI TEAS 7 English quizlet

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: thunderous. In the context of a breakthrough, thunderous applause indicates a loud, enthusiastic response, fitting the significant achievement of the scientist. The word 'thunderous' conveys a strong, positive reaction that aligns with the impact of a breakthrough. The other choices, scattered, polite, and hesitant, do not convey the same level of intensity or positivity as 'thunderous' in this context. 'Scattered' implies a sporadic or disorganized response, 'polite' suggests a restrained or formal reaction, and 'hesitant' indicates a lack of enthusiasm or uncertainty, all of which do not suit the magnitude of the scientist's achievement.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: aroma. In the sentence, "aroma" is the noun as it is the subject of the sentence, referring to the smell of the freshly baked bread. "Filled" is a verb, "kitchen" is a noun but not the main subject, and "freshly" is an adverb describing the bread. Therefore, "aroma" is the only choice that fits the criteria of being a noun in this sentence.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because it asks a question and seeks information. Interrogative sentences are used to inquire or request clarification. In this case, "What is your favorite color?" directly asks for a specific response. Choices A, C, and D are not interrogative as they do not pose a question or seek information. A is a statement, C is a command, and D is a declarative sentence.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, "Agatha Christie." An appositive is a noun or noun phrase that renames or explains another noun in the sentence. In this case, "Agatha Christie" renames "author." It provides additional information about the author, specifying who the favorite author is. The other choices, A, C, and D, do not meet the definition of an appositive and do not rename or explain another noun in the sentence. Choice A, "favorite," is an adjective describing the author, not an appositive. Choice C, "many," is an adjective describing the number of novels, not an appositive. Choice D, "novels," is the object of the sentence, not an appositive.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The sentence 'Wow, what a beautiful sunset!' is an exclamatory sentence because it expresses strong emotion or excitement. It conveys the speaker's amazement at the beauty of the sunset. Exclamatory sentences typically end with an exclamation mark and are used to show feelings. Rationale: 1. The presence of the exclamation mark indicates strong emotion. 2. The word 'Wow' is an interjection expressing surprise or admiration. 3. The sentence is not a question (interrogative), statement (declarative), or command (imperative). Summary: - A (Interrogative sentence): Not correct as there is no question being asked. - B (Declarative sentence): Not correct as it does not make a statement or provide information. - D (Imperative sentence): Not correct as it does not give a command or instruction.
